The Many Uses of Hydraulics In Different Industries

Have you ever seen a hydraulic lift or a hydraulic press? If so, then you’re probably familiar with the power and efficiency of hydraulics. But did you know that hydraulics are used in many different industries? From construction to manufacturing, many businesses rely on the power of hydraulics for their day-to-day operations. Let’s take a look at some of the industries where hydraulics are found.

Construction & Mining Industry

The construction and mining industry makes use of some heavy machinery like bulldozers, excavators, and cranes. These machines use hydraulics to help them perform their tasks with precision and accuracy. For example, bulldozers have hydraulic cylinders that allow them to move earth quickly and efficiently. Similarly, cranes use hydraulic cylinders to lift heavy objects safely. Moreover, all these machines are equipped with control systems that allow operators to control the functions of the machine using levers and buttons.

Agriculture Industry

The agriculture industry makes use of tractors which are powered by hydraulically operated engines. These engines provide enough torque to plough fields, pull trailers, and transport goods from one place to another without any hassles. Moreover, other farm equipment like balers also rely on hydraulic power for their operation – they compress hay into bales using hydraulic pressure generated by electric motors or internal combustion engines.

Automotive Industry

The automotive industry is another sector that relies heavily on hydraulics for its functioning. Brakes in cars use hydraulic pressure generated by brake fluid to apply pressure on the brakes when drivers press down on the brake pedal. Aside from braking systems, cars also have air conditioning systems which work on the principle of hydraulics as well – they compress refrigerant gases using a compressor driven by a belt or chain connected to an engine pulley system powered by an internal combustion engine or electric motor via a series of hoses and valves operated by a control system activated by pressing buttons inside the car cabin.

The uses of hydraulics extend far beyond what we just discussed here – they can be used in aircrafts for controlling landing gear deployment or controlling flight surfaces; they can even be used in space exploration! Hydraulic systems can be found almost everywhere – from factories and industrial settings to our homes – so it’s no wonder why so many industries rely on their power and efficiency! Whether you’re in construction or agriculture (or anything else!), if your business requires special tools that must operate with precision, consider investing in hydraulic technology! This will ensure your operations run smoothly day after day!

Description

Power Team – 3/4 way, 2 position Remote Air

Application: Single or double-acting cylinders; air operated (minimum of 50 psi (3,5 bar) air pressure required.)

Actuation: 9595 is air operated.

Operation with single-acting cylinder: Either oil port “A” or “B” must be plugged on valve. With port “B” plugged, solenoid is energized to position “A,” oil port “A” becomes pressurized. When solenoid is energized to position “B,” oil port “A” becomes the return port.

Operation with multiple single-acting cylinders: A pressure line from one bank can be connected to oil port “A” and the other to oil port “B” on the valve. Sequence: When energized to position “A,” oil port “A” becomes pressurized and clamps the fixture connected to oil port “A”; oil port “B” becomes a “return” port for cylinder connected to oil port “B,” and retracts it. The opposite happens when solenoid “B” is energized.

Operation with double-acting cylinder: Port “A” is connected to “advance” port of cylinder, oil port “B” connects to cylinder “return” port. Solenoid is energized to position “A,” oil port “A” becomes pressurized to extend cylinder piston. The opposite happens when solenoid “B” is energized. Valve does not hold in “retract” position.

NOTE: When using more than one valve on a pump, the tank port may require a check valve to permit inadvertent, momentary extension of a retracted cylinder.

NOTE: If pump is equipped with an internal outlet check, a “hold” position can be maintained with the pump shut off.

NOTE: Valves are shipped without control switch.
For valves 9524, 9554 and 9593, use Remote Hand Control (No. 304718).
For valve 9595, use Remote Hand Control (No. 209593).

NOTE: Valves have 1/4″ NPTF ports. 3/8″ to “1/4” adapters are included.

NOTE: Maximum tank line pressure for remote mounted valves is 500 psi (35 bar).

NOTE: Valves are shipped without control switch. Use Remote Hand Control (No. 202777).

CAUTION: To prevent sudden, uncontrolled descent of a load as it is being lowered, use a Load Lowering Valve (No. 9596) or Counter Balance Valve (No. 9720) in conjunction with the directional valve used in your application.
